President Donald Trump met Tuesday with a group of states’ attorneys general at the White House.

In all, about two dozen attended, but Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan declined the president’s invitation.

In a statement, Madigan told NBC 5, she "declined his invitation on behalf of the many Americans harmed by his actions.”

“This President has threatened our civil rights and civil liberties in a way we haven't seen in decades," the statement read. "He has put Wall Street bankers in the administration to protect the greed that brought our country to financial collapse."
